Everything about el Rancho is unique. It’s a blast from the past but right now. I stay here often. I do not want to share how much I appreciate the attention to details …the historical relevance , the unique decore…if you love unique and the feel of travel villa from the southwest 1959’s,,,this is it. I now have a dog and they accommodated my dog. So now I love em more. Enjoyed hanging out on the balcony w my dog and husband. El rancho provides areas like this for all to enjoy. Five stars in my wild world !

The experience was amazing. We enjoyed the balcony. My husband smoked a cigar and I rocked in the rocking chair. The history was fun and the elevator was an interesting step back in time. We had a couple of drinks at the bar and the bar tender was friendly and informative. The room was very clean. The only drawback for us was the bed was too hard and breakfast at the restaurant was 40 bucks for two meals, coffee and orange juice.

Staff very friendly and lovely. Room small and although the theme is fun, the carpets and walls need to be cleaned and really new carpets are greatly needed. The surrounding area felt very unsafe but the hotel does have active security.

It's a great historic place to stay and is beautiful inside the hotel area but the annex part looks a little shady.They have 2 guards walking around the parking lot at all times,so I appreciate that they want you to know they care about you and your vehicle.Great food in the restaurant.
